***3.5 Stars*** Not the best pub fare, but still a decent option if you're looking for some cheap and filling pub food in the Stratford area. I stayed in Stratford while visiting London and I passed by this pub a few times while on my way to the city. I finally decided to stop by for brunch one morning before heading to the train station. This pub is really spacious!!! They have a really nice back patio area and a few tables out front. There's no table service here but you can order from your phone using an app or just order from the bar. What makes this place great are their ridiculously cheap deals! OH how I loooove them great deals! You can get an ish load of food for about £3.50 (that's roughly $5 in American dollars give or take the daily exchange rate). They also have great deals on drinks and you can get pitchers of beer and cocktails for dirt cheap too. I ended up ordering their traditional breakfast in addition to a bowl of porridge which was too damn much food for lil' ol' me. But you know how Yelp goes; eyes are always bigger than your stomach! The traditional breakfast includes sausage, bacon, hash browns, toast, eggs, beans and a tomato. HELLA food for £3.50!!! As far as the food quality goes, it was nothing spectacular but it was still good. It did the deed for brunch so I wasn't complaining. I actually really liked the porridge but got too full to finish it. It was thick but still really creamy. You can choose which toppings that you want with it. I chose bananas and brown sugar which went perfectly! I had only planned on getting one drink but it didn't make sense since it was only a couple dollars less than getting a full pitcher. I had been drinking beer for the past few days, so I decided to get a pitcher of their Tuity Fruity cocktail. Um yeah... didn't finish that either! But, I sho' tried my damned hardest. The cocktail was tasty and I didn't feel anything at first, but I did end up getting a buzz as I was walking to the train station. Thank GAWD for the train station because driving wouldn't have been an option. Although there was no table service, everyone that I encountered at the pub was extremely friendly. This seems like a locals joint too as many of the staff members knew people as they walked in. This is also a great place to catch the games since they have a tons of TV's inside. All in all, it's a solid spot for a cheap and filling brunch in the Stratford area. read more

Came here for beer and food after work. Decent place. Quite large in size and does have a variety of beer on tap. Not the cleanest place and it's really quite busy so all the food took forever. Was also a little chaotic in the ordering but which pub isn't! All in all, it was decent however it really depends on the crowed of the night. So it's hard to say whether it'd be a good night with mates. Not many screens that I can see so I'm not sure if it would be a great sports bar. But I was sitting at the corner so it could just be wrong spot. Food tasted super unhealthy but nice! read more

The Goldengrove - Fried chicken! - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

See all

This Wetherspoons establishment is located a short walk away from Stratford's shopping facilities and just across the road from the local Morrisons, meaning that it can be an ideal spot to pause and reflect after a hard days shopping. The interior is pretty predictable as ever, with ghastly carpets and fixtures, but the place has a warm and relaxed atmosphere that is lacking is most other Wetherspoons establishments. Due to the location, prices at the Golden Grove are excellent and the quality of food is better than most. They even have a pretty tidy outdoor area for those summer months and for all you smokers. Not really anything special as you might imagine but it's certainly an improvement on many places I've been to. read more

Well I had hoped for more,as previously stated toilets were filthy.and the floor flooded,as with all wetherspoons the ales cheap,I avoid eating in this place as on two occassions I have had to send it back.but the thing that gets to me is Staff with no manners read more

The food is good and not expensive. The wait for a table wasn't long but to get something on the tills take a while. Good portions and it had good taste. I think most dishes have the drink included and for the type of food it's quite when it comes to the price. I actually had a server who seemed drunk and was actually a bit weird by everyone else was nice. read more

What Stratford lacks is a decent real ale pub. Don't get me wrong the King Edward VII can be very good but like Wetherspoon's the beer can be beautiful or off, it's just that the Goldengrove is more consistent. Well in Wetherspoon's pubs can get the more desperate of punters and this place is no exception. The food is generally of the prepackaged and deep fried variety and somewhere between greasy and burnt or both, but it's cheap. The men's toilets in this place are often flooded and are in poor condition, so you may have to queue for the disabled toilet. But all that taken into consideration you can have a nice pint here. read more

Wetherspoon bars are all fairly similar. This is no exception. Cheap alcohol and decent food. A few barfly types may be found, but they are kicked out fairly swiftly if they misbehave. Do find it annoying that they ask 'who's next' at the bar - a sign of staff laziness. However, it's a good, cheap bar at the end of the day. read more

They got EXCELLENT. SUNDAY ROAST DINNER ( which comes with Roast Chicken ,or Roast Beef or Roast Lamb -- Then you got - roast potatoes, Yorkshire pud . Digging, some vegetables and gravyIt would be nice to get a little bit more of the sauce but for the price of 5.99£ and free drink with this meal = I think it's a e excellent choice . . It's very busy on Sunday's ( well weekends as well ) but I do recommend the Sunday Roast for all family .! read more

I came here for a friends birthday, It is a Weatherspoons and you know what your getting. We came on a friday night and it was lively. Even though it was lively we could all still chat and get to know each other as I only knew the birthday girl, It is a good pub, good environment and my friend said this was the best birthday she had. The drinks are as expected from a weatherspoons. I didn't eat so can't comment on that. read more

This Wetherspoons I can't say I was really blown away with this pub but it wasn't by no means a bad pub, the decor was a bit dirty and my first pint of Stella didn't really taste or go down too well for me!!lol ,I guess perhaps the pumps may have needed a bit of a clean, the place was pretty packed throughout the night, but I think 3 Stars is as good as it gets I'm afraid for ( The Goldengrove! Stratford...) read more

Well worth including on an E15 pub crawl.

We came here for breakfast and it was so fantastic. The service was very very friendly and fast and yeah..friendly..and the food was nice too. After this we came for Lunch and a beer again and it was fast too. its loud but thats okay cause its a pub and the security is friendly too. the best pub i ever was in england. read more

Mum use to go in this pub for a cheap meal with her friend after a day of shopping all the time, until she was mistaken for someone else (who apparently was swearing the week before), and a female member of staff was extremely rude to her and wouldn't apologise (even the manager didn't have the guts to say anything). My mums wouldn't say boo to a goose let alone swear but the staff didn't handle the situation well at all, and my mum ended up coming home crying. STAFF - 1/5 (would be less) Drinks - 3/5 Food - 3/5 But as the staff are rude & don't understand some people do actually look alike, they get a 1 star from me. I have used this pub, but never again. read more

I actually do like this pub, despite what other reviewers have said! the drinks are cheap and the other patrons are generally friendly. It is close to the town centre so you can pop in for brekkie and then head to the shops. My fave thing tho, has to be the free WiFi- i can sit on my laptop for hours after eating lunch and having a few cheeky drinks. I have always found the staff really nice and will definetly be returning!!! read more

I am truly surprised by the negative comments. But then again they are not current. And this taking into account that I am not a pub fan, and will voice my opinion even when harm may result. Bull mentality with a defective brain syndrome. I am what is in my French mother tongue (my doubly linked terms of) "gourmet - gourmand". Basically a pig with a well trained, analytical tongue. The venue was as expected, pleasant, with good ambient temperature and good lighting. The set up was not crowded, with ample room for people to walk without bumping into one another, or those with double crutches. The noise level was average. Being heard required no special effort. It is conveniently situated, with landmark making it easy to find. Parking is available nearby, with some purchase, shall we say. Bus service is 5 mins walking distance, at a very slow rate, feasible for many people with disabilities or the elderly to commute, of which there were a few. The food was of the expected temperature, big portions, well presented to a pub standard and the taste was amazing! One of the very best I ever had, and I had them by the thousands across all of London. The side dish alone was passable, a bit oily. The dessert was as good as the expensive (central) west end London venue who specialise in them, and extremely cheep for the quality and portion size. A fact that really surprised me. In fact I should warn you to specify quantity in cases of ingredients like syrup if you don't want a mini swimming pool or wastage, for they are not stingy. The overall culinary experience was comparable to the average good restaurant. In fact we paid about 4 times the price for much lesser on all counts but for food temperature in an up market central London venue. I couldn't drink alcohol on the day for personal reasons, so won't comment on it. Though I understand it isnt too costly and from the sip I stole tasted fine. Though my alcohol taste buds on said particular beverage (beer) are at best lethargic, so my comment there is so so. The toilets - at around 6 pm - were clean, well stocked and not shabby at all, again to my surprise, as I was dreading it. The venue was adequately staffed. The staffs themselves were polite and friendly. I didn't mind being asked "who's next?" It is current practice, even in places when you are standing in a strait queue, a meter away. It is best than serving us in the wrong order, causing friction. Used plates were removed in a timely manner. The staff didn't hesitate to go and find the information I wanted, though she couldn't have realised I was physically disabled from where I was seated, and didn't imply that I get up to make another trip and find the information for myself. An occurrence I often encounter in staff who can blatantly see me struggling. The clientele were a mix bunch of a variety assortment type. All were well behaved, but for one who either was preoccupied or ignored me at the bar when I asked if he was already served before I went ahead. The ambience was conducive to family needs as much as anyone else. Unless I fancied sushi, Thai and the like, I'll definitely make an eager bee line there again. The venue comes to mind each time I think of dinning out, which is a good sign. I hope you found the comments helpful, and that you have as pleasant an experience as I had. Pudding lovers go wild! read more

Went here quite a lot up to 2008. It was a friendly place and the food was always well prepared and tasty. The roasts were just like mum made too. All in all a nice place for a good reasonably priced meal. read more
